Green Transportation。Green transportation choices provide you with the keys to the kingdom as you travel. You can walk off the calories of that buttery croissant as you explore Paris. Or better understand Chinese culture as you park your Flying Pigeon bicycle amid 100 others in a Beijing parking lot dedicated just to bikes. A marine ferry takes longer than an airplane to get you to Alaska, Mykonos or Nova Scotia, but you have a good chance of seeing dolphins and eagles, reading a book or two and chatting with the crew. Youll save money, your waistline and fossil fuel emissions by taking the greener road.
Step 1:Get out of the car and walk once you arrive. The very greenest transportation choices are the non-motorized ones-bicycling and walking. Fortunately, both are also the best way to see a city. Pack comfortable shoes so you can explore without foot fatigue.
Step 2:See if your lodging provides free bicycles for guests, recommends Irene Lane of Greenloons, a company that advises families on ecotourism travel choices. If not, rent a bicycle from a shop: many carry electric bikes thatll help you tackle hills or long rides even if youre not in top biking shape. In addition, see if your destination has a bike-sharing system thats accessible to tourists. For a small fee, these sharing systems allow you to pick up a bicycle from a nearby bike station, ride it to your hearts content for an hour or two, then return it to any other bike station in the city.
Step 3:Take public transit once you arrive at your destination—most major transit systems now post maps and schedules online on multilingual sites, allowing you to familiarize yourself with the system in advance. In addition, some systems have applications for smart phones so you can get up-to-date information as you travel.
Step 4:Move between cities using buses, trains and ferries, which tend to be greener than automobiles and airplanes—buses are considered more efficient than cars because their emissions are shared by several dozen people. If you have to fly or drive to get where youre going, take the most direct route and see if you can go green by proceeding on foot or bicycle once you arrive.
Step 5:Rent an electric car if you must travel by vehicle and focus on green driving behaviors. Plan an efficient route, inflate your tires properly and remove unnecessary cargo to improve fuel efficiency and reduce the vehicles carbon dioxide emissions.

     Rising College Selectivity。Rising college selectivity doesnt mean that students are smarter and more serious than in the past. Its a function of excess demand for higher education, occurring at a time of increased financial privatization of the industry.
    The recession has only increased demand. The vast majority of students arent going to college because of a thirst for knowledge. Theyre there because they need a job, and they need to get the credentials and one hopes, the knowledge and skills behind the credentials—that will get them into the labor market.
    As higher education has become a sellers market, the institutions in a position to do so are doing what comes naturally: raising their tuitions and their admissions requirements, but at the expense of contributing to the national goal to increase college attainment. The result is that the United States is losing ground in the international race for educational talent.
    The increasing stratification of higher education is happening on the spending side, as well. As the selective institutions have become more expensive and less attainable, the rest have had to struggle with the responsibility to enroll more students without being paid to do so. Gaps between rich and poor have grown even more dramatically than gaps in entering test scores. While spending is a poor measure of educational quality, we cant seriously expect to increase educational attainment if were not prepared to do something to address these growing inequities in funding.
    That said, the educational policy problem in our country is not that the elite institutions are becoming more selective. The problem is on the public policy side. The president and many governors have set a goal to return America to a position of international leadership in educational attainment.
Its the right goal, we just need a financing strategy to get there. That doesnt mean just more money, although some more money will be needed. It also means better attention to effectiveness and educational attainment. We know how to do it, if we want to.
